Simiya

tumhaari babat main sochta hun
to aisa lagta hai lafz sare

badan-darida o sar-burida
bayan-o-izhaar ke sahaare

ye lafz sare
mere taKHayyul ki bargah-e-suKHan mein jaise

qatar-andar-qatar mahjub
pa-pyaada khaDe hue hain

tumhein jo sochun to lafz sochun
jo lafz sochun to aise paikar ka tarjuman

koi lafz sochun
jo aks-afgan ho ghamza-o-ishwa-o-ada ka

nazir ru-e-nigar-o-talat
KHabir-e-bu-e-bahaar-o-nikhat

jo husn-e-sarmad ka aaina-gar
jo aariz-e-hur ka fusun-gar

jo lafz KHushbu abir-o-ambar
jo lafz sandal shamim-e-muztar

jo lafz farhang-e-KHamoshi ho
jo lafz aahang-e-be-KHudi ho

jo lafz tandid-gar ho aisa
jo KHal-o-KHad ko kamal kah de

tumhein sarapa jamal kah de
jo lafz jadu ho kimiya ho

jo lafz afsun ho simiya ho
jo lafz tujh ko bayan kar de

wo lafz aaKHir koi to hoga
wo lafz aaKHir kahin to hoga
